The Delta Grill in Hell's Kitchen

This Louisiana-inspired restaurant cultivates a festive atmosphere in a southern-styled setting. It reminded me of New Orleans eating. The Quarterback and I shared the fried green tomatoes. The waiter told us beforehand that they only had red tomatoes tonight. When it came, we tucked in and enjoyed the hot, spicy dish. The Quarterback had jamabalaya in a pot. It was very flavorful, and came with andouille sausage and chicken in a crispy batter. My shrimp etouffee was rather bland. The wine list was very ordinary. The Quarterback had an Australian shiraz, and I had an okay German riesling.

A FINANCIAL TIMES BEST BOOK OF 2015

Lambda Finalist

"The Singapore-born poet’s first UK publication is disciplined yet adventurous in form, casual in tone and deeply personal in subject matter. Koh’s verse addresses the split inheritance of his postcolonial upbringing, as well as the tension between an émigré’s longing for home and rejection of nostalgia." - Maria Crawford in UK's Financial Times
